BYU Basketball

My complete lack of posting about BYU basketball this season shames me. I'm sorry cougars that I have failed to mention at all on this blog how AWESOME our team is this year! We have watched most the games on TV (believe me Paul is REALLY missing his glory days of writing for the BYU paper and getting to sit on press row) but on Saturday we were able to score some tickets and actually go to the game! It was a blast. Melissa's grandparents were nice enough to babysit so we got to go to the game and get really loud. BYU was ranked #3 in the nation! (yes, i know this will change after our embarrassing loss to New Mexico and after losing Brandon Davies to the honor code) Nonetheless, the boys are ROCKING IT out there! We won to Wyoming in our last home game of the season and it was definitely an exciting game to be at, for several reasons:
(#1) We scored over 100 points, which is always cool
(#2) We got to watch Jimmer Fredette play, which is also always cool because he is amazing. Some of my favorite signs people had were: "I've got the Jimmer Shiver" (instead of Bieber Fever... a 13 yr old girl had it.) "Jimmer Jimmer Chicken dinner" and "1 if by land, 2 if by sea, 3 if by Jimmer" people are so creative.
(#3) We got free cake at Magelby's afterward because we won
(#4) We got to sit with all our friends
 (#5) Caitlin looked SUPER cute in her new BYU shirt and i'm really sad i didn't get a picture. but i did get this one the other day when we were watching the game:
(#6) During one of the time outs of the last half the whole student section did a "flash mob dance" and did a full choreographed dance. It was so awesome! They all learned it before the game. I tried to video tape it but it didn't work at all. So i just got this chaotic picture:

but believe me, it was cool. Looks like someone else was able to capture the effect, so you can check it out HERE.
